Ingredients:

2/3 cup whole-grain wheat flour
80g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1/4 cup honey
88g
2 egg whites
80g
3 tbsp dry cocoa powder
16g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1/4 tsp baking powder
1.25g
1 banana
120g
1 tbsp coconut oil
14g
1 tbsp applesauce
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners for easier removal and cleanup.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-grain wheat flour, whey protein powder, dry cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Add the honey, egg whites, melted coconut oil, and applesauce. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter to ensure a tender muffin texture.
5. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. This will help the muffins rise without overflowing.
6. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
7. Cool and Enjoy:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Serving and Storage:
- Enjoy your fudgy chocolate banana protein muffins as a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. These muffins also freeze well; just be sure to package them in a freezer-safe container.

Tips:

- For best results, use a ripe banana as it will provide more sweetness and moisture to the muffins.

- Ensure that the egg whites are at room temperature before mixing to help with better incorporation and rise.

- If you prefer a sweeter muffin, you can add a few chocolate chips or a little extra honey to the batter.

- Don't overmix the batter once you combine the wet and dry ingredients; this can make the muffins tough. Mix just until everything is incorporated.

- To make these muffins vegan, you can substitute the egg whites with flax eggs and use a plant-based protein powder.

- Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them set and avoid sticking.

These Fudgy Chocolate Banana Protein Muffins are a delightful and nutritious treat that you can enjoy guilt-free. They're easy to prepare, packed with protein, and made with wholesome ingredients that contribute to a balanced diet. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, a post-workout snack, or a healthy dessert, these muffins are sure to satisfy your cravings.
